Thesis (Master of Arts in Teaching--Electrical Technology) Marikina Institute of Science and Technology
Includes bibliographical references.
This work centered on the design, construction, evaluation, anc development of a massager device called Electro-Mechanical foot Massager, The project was conceived out of observation that hospital equipment and devices used in exercising and reactivating paralyzed human foot require huge fees that are oftentimes beyond the pocket reach of the ordinary men, Thus, an alternative exercising device which could tunction and perform at par with expensive hospital gadget would, hopefully, be welcomed by the patient suffering from the said illness following any mild heart stroke,
This technical feasibility study had for its objectives the following:
1, Contribute to the national government policy on productivity and self~reliance;
2, Develop technical research and competencies among technical and vocational trainers and trainees (students);
3, Add to the cause of medical and physical therapy by utilizing sarts and materials locally available,
4, design and construct an electro-mechanical foot massager
5, Test and evaluate the service workability and infectivity in providing relief and hopefully reactivate tse human sooy parts, particularly the feet, under pain;
and
6, improve the massager device structurally, and thus, maximize its workability end application,
The completed project revealed the following findings:
1, it is technically-feasible to Design, construct, evaluate, and develop the electro-mechanical foot massager device out of locally available materials such as wood, metal-aid electrical components.
2, The project merely required the knowledge and technical skills of a shop instructor with the least assistance by senior students in electrical and/or electronics techno-
Logies.
3, The life end usability of the device lie on the proper care and maintenance of the USeLs
Upon the above findings, the .researcher advances the following conclusions:
1. With the completion of the electro-mechanical foot messager device shows yet another economic ov-ortunity for shop teachers and students to contribute to the cause of medical and physical therapy and answer the needs and demands of hundreds of individuals suffering from inutile leg and feet Following a serious heart stroke, The project merely calls for some advanced skills of the maker in the areas of
electricity and/or electronics.
